just making this stuff up as we go

Here's the fake news conference that the dolts at FEMA staged last week during the wildfires. MSNBC and Fox News carried it live as news, a fact which is as pathetic as the staged event itself. FEMA is under the Dept. of Homeland, a cabinet level position, which has daily briefings with the White House. If HS or the White House didn't know about it before hand, then they continue to demonstrate their inadequacy to the task. All of the FEMA employees involved in this staged event were in the public relations department and therefore they all would have had to have known that such a stunt contitutes an incredible usurpation of the idea of a free and fair press. The whole affair, including the response of MSNBC and Fox News is as ludicrous as this administration of idiots.

Hey, if you're rich and a movie mogul then when wildfires threaten your home you can call your very own Dreamworks Fire Department and have them douse your home with flame retardants. Once the wildfire threat has past and then when it rains, all those flame retardants can wash off your home and into the creeks and waterways used by the rest of the world who keep your dreams alive by watching the Shrek you produce. Let's replace our ecosystem with a cartoon.


But if you're not-so-rich, that also means that you're not-so-important, and you might want to try alternative methods for saving your home.


The result.

Quotes of the day.
George Bush, "you're doing a heckuva job Arnold."

busted out the stall

Lot's of video out there about the California wildfires but his one seems to capture many of the elements embedded in the story and do it in a way that is bereft of news anchor's editorializing. I love the way the speed of the Santa Ana winds are visually expressed, how the creep of the fires slowly begins to threaten the viewers vantagepoint, and how the intersection of human habitation and natural wildfires are captured.
